Ash And Horizons

Gym Challenges tryout

After the opening ceremony has ended, the other gym leaders decide to talk with Ash in the arena. With the exception of Milo have to leave since his gym is the first one the participant visited, Gordie want to go home faster, Piers want to recheck his Gym arena to make sure it looks fresh when the challengers arrived, and Opal want to leave to Baloonlea first for checking out her supply back at home.

"Hey Ash! You looking fabulous now. Your old clothes looking bad now?" Raihan first greet out.

"Not like that, Raihan-san. Someone close to me says that i need to get myself an official match clothes so it looks more appropriate when i get myself in an official match just like right now."

Raihan hummed, agree with Ash as well, "Whoever tell you that, that person know how to make you looked really FRESH!"

"I even agree." The gym trainer, Nessa voiced out her opinion, "As a model myself, i find your outfit suit really well."

Bea interjected, "Aside from fashion, you're still as strong as how you truly are. How's your Lucario by the way? Me and Machamp would like another rematch in the future."

"Thanks Bea-san, and Lucario is still at Kanto at Professor Oak's lab." Ash grinned at her, "I would wait for that when it could happen in the future!"

"You better prepare yourself!"

"Of course i would!"

Ash looked around and noticed Leon and Sonia wasn't here anymore.

"Where's Leon-san and Sonia-san?"

"Leon went to gather more points for the world championship after seeing your battle." Raihan informed, "Looks like Leon got fired up after he saw your Greninja battle, especially that mysterious form Greninja took."

"Yeah, that Greninja wasn't something we all have seen before." Nessa agreed, "And the fact that his mysterious form has some resemblance with you, what even was that Greninja form?"

Ash smiled as he replied, "That's me and my Greninja's bond power."

"A bond that makes your pokemon transform with some of your body appearance? Sounds really lit."

"ASH!"

They all turned to the entrance where all of Ash friends are running towards them.

"Liko! Everyone!"

As they got closer, Liko is the first one to congratulate him, "Congrats for the win, Ash!"

Max then congratulate him exaggeratedly, "Ash and his Greninja were the coolest! He didn't get hit once by Kabu-san's Centiskorch attack at all!"

"Ash! Is that really how strong your Greninja truly are? No wonder why Greninja beat your Lucario easily back in Kalos!"

"Yup! All my pokemons are strong differently you know!"

Piplup, Eevee, Grookey, May's Glaceon, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito meet up with Greninja, Pikachu, and Meloetta. They were amazed by how amazing Greninja, Pikachu, and Meloetta did on their battle.

"I guess there were some surprise that i haven't seen yet." Chloe admitted, "Ash-kun, do you mind if i sent a video of your Greninja to my dad? I think he would like to see the extraordinary thing that happened to you and Greninja."

"I don't mind actually."

Liko took her opportunity, and kissed Ash cheek. That sudden action made Ash blush, and even Liko felt a bit embarrassed.

"That's a gift from me, okay Ash?"

"T-Thanks... wow..."

"Get a room you two!" Kai teased out.
